End user Error Message Visibility for Administrator
The Idea. To give Admin visibility of the individual error messages that can appear on the end-users screen (bottom right corner in client), this could be via a simple log file recording the time of message, the message, and the end user. Why. We have solutions developed for clients and at times they get an error message…

Ease capsule renaming
Dear team, We would like to rename our capsules but it seems that it is almost impossible without loosing what we have already built in BOARD as we have feeds, presentations, go to screen, screen procedures in place. It would be great if we could link the capsule to anything without putting the name of the capulse but…

DEFAULT SETTINGS IMPROVEMENTS

When a new ascii data reader is being created, the dafult path is always C:\Board\... even if the default server path is e.g. D: \Board...It would be nice if the sugegsted path in data…

Default option resize
Currently the screen resize option when opening a new screen is "fit width" as default. This however is not really valid for all models / capsules / devices. If you use any of the other options and navigate, you have to constantly change the screen resize option afterwords. It would be great if one of these options could…

Data entry by copy&paste in html Client
Within desktop client it´s possible to enter data by "copy & paste" i.e. from excel. In html client this is currently only working for maximum 50 rows and 100 lines. I think copy & paste is used by many users so elimination of this restriction would be helpful. Additional information from BOARD support: restriction is…

Create an overview for all available presentations
Hi all, It would be very helpful if there was an option to view all current presentations on the Board Server and who are the users of this presentation. We are preparing to enable SSO login for all users in combination with the subscription hub. But because we need to create new users, they lose their access to the…

Apply selection to block works for dataviews withing containers
Currently board throws an error when we try to do this, but if we could give the container a physical name could we built this functionality whereby we could apply a selection to block in a dataview that in turn is placed inside a container on a screen? Thanks

Apply Selection to Block on multiple blocks at once
Instead of having to select Screen-Dataview-Block for each block in a separate "Apply Selection to Block"-action, it would save a lot of time if it was possible to multi-select all needed blocks from all dataviews on the screen.

Always display list members in the same order
Hello, Lists displaying screens, procedures, etc., are not always sorted in the same way. One time it is by alphabetical order, another time it is by order of creation. Example: Action call procedure --> by order of creation Button calling a procedure --> alphabetical order. Please choose a type of display because it is a…

allow 2 descriptions/ names by entity name
Actually its only possible to create 1 description of an entity. And the same name will be displayed for the user for example in the selector (there are a few other examples like this) In this case we have to use a workaround and "hide" the name of the selector with a label Most of the entities an especially hierarchies…

Add column Group in Procedure page
In most Data Model pages, e.g. Entity, Cube, Data reader the column "Group" exists. It would practical if it also exists in the Procedure page.

Ability to group columns
Grouping columns: Currently, we have grouping of rows which is useful, however, the timeline of the data in columns is huge, hence grouping of columns will be great. Will help reduce time and efforts.

"Save and Continue Editing" button in process editor
In process editor, clicking "Cancel" will remove all work that has been completed but not yet saved (with no confirmation, btw), while clicking "Save" will save all work but then edit the process editor. Can we please have a "Save and Continue Editing" button, or something similar added?

Currently it's only possible to execute an On Open Trigger for screens that are not set as Home screens. 3. What workaround have you found and…

Enhance Excel-Addin Layout Execution
In last couple of releases export functionality was taken to the next level. Bulk data export via Bulk Insert, Export Dataset or even via the API interface now make it possible to export more than just an ordinary layout. It would be great if this kind of layout execution could be adapted for the Excel add-in as well, so…

Turn off automatic search in name search in Entities/Cubes list
1. What is your idea? Currently when you search name in entities/cubes screen, if you start to type name in the search field, Board search name and filter the list immediately. It would be good if we can turn off this automatic search and search will be triiger after pushing enter key. 2. What specific problem are you…

It would be great if there would be a possibility for the administrator or owner of presentations to change the owner of presentations - especially when users are leaving the company and handing over their stuff or if responsibilities in the company are changing.

Subscription Hub - Enable sort function on "Role" and "Instance"
Greetings! In the process of creating a new user account, we often have to look up users with similar responsibilities so that we can assign the correct role to a new user. However, the sorting function on "Role" and "Instance" is not enabled, making the process a tad bit slower. It would be great if we could use sort on…

WEB configure Layout : authorize copy of block and change of cube
Hi all, Maybe somebody else mentioned this already but just to be sure... we are currently testing and explaining to some key users the benefits of version 10.5 for the configure layout in the web version. Two key features of the client are missing : * the possibility to copy a block to a new block; * the possibility to…

SQL data reader logs - own folder in cloud administration portal
Hi! It would be very useful if there was a folder that only contains discarded records for sql data readers in the cloud administration portal. As of now it seems that this information can be found under other logs but is mixed up with a lot of other logs. If logs were to get an own folder for data readers it would also be…

Quick Layout for Charts
Hi ! The idea is pretty simple and I'm sure it's already in the pipe somewhere in Chiasso... Basically I would like the "quick layout" function to be available for charts, in the same way it is for dataviews (configurable axis), or maybe in a simplified manner (rows only or columns only) if there are too many constraints.…

Return zero values in First Value and Last Value functions
The First Value and Last Value functions return the first/last non zero value. I suggest the introduction of two functions that return the first/last value even if it is zero. The goal is to have the first/last value of the selected period regardless if it is zero or not. E.g.: when looking at a warehouse stock level I…

Incorporating Page By Option for Microsoft Excel Add-In

Improvement of layout configuration - structure defintion for rows and columns
Hello community, in our reporting process we are usually - in a "standard data view setup" - using the "Key-Figure-Entity" that is displayed by row. The column structure is basically defined by the block definitions, no additional "by column" entities are used. In this context the row structure is always very dynamic,…

Highlighted Selector
Hi All, the idea is quite simple but I think it is very useful. At the moment when there are, within a screen, several selectors on the same tree it is difficult to understand on which selector a selection has been made as the selection expands correctly itself on all the entities of the tree. An alert/symbol would be…
